  Q: How to remove and install a starter on Honda CRX?

  A: The starter is mounted to the bulkhead side of the engine block, either on top or below the Flywheel or torque converter housing. The first versions of the equipment incorporate a direct drive type of starter, the latest use the gear reduction starter although both versions can be controlled and serviced in a comparable manner. Both starters are of-four pole, series wound DC type having an outboard solenoid. When the key is turned to the start position, the solenoid operated by the gear on its extension engages the starter pinion with the flywheel and when tightly engaged, the solenoid complete the main circuit by drawing the two terminals, the starter then rotates the engine. Lack of an electronic smart overrunning clutch was said to be the reason the flywheel gears the starter clutch and rotor when it is started and remains engaged until the ignition is turned on, at which the starter current is interrupted and the shift lever spring pushes the gear into neutral. If starter is to be replaced, switch off the battery and disconnected the terminal of the battery and the cable from the starter motor then finally unscrew the bolts that hold the starter motor. Installation is done in a process that involves the reversal of the removal procedures and making certain that the bolts that hold the starter to the engine have a torque of 33 ft. lbs. and all wires are connected and all warranties and guarantees are fulfilled. To replace the starter drive on hitachi and nippondenso direct drive types, remove the starter, the solenoid and the rear cover and separate the carbon brushes and yoke from the case. The armature unit is thereby proposed to be dismantled and the pinion gear is pulled from the armature. After manufacturing, installation takes place in a technically reverse way, so that different parts can be installed appropriately. Specific product reduction gear types belonging to Nippondenso are characterized by elements such as double reduction pinion gears, and internal solenoid housing. The easiest path entails first disassembling of the military as well as taking of the battery, elimination of the solenoid as well as the elimination of the end frame so as to reveal the over-running clutch assembly. The assembly is, therefore, done in reverse order of disassembly while at the same time applying lubrication on the sliding surfaces. The gear reduction types of Mitsuba are depicted to have a smaller width of the gear housing and the solenoid housing being protruding. The removal process involves detaching the battery, unscrewing of solenoid, and the carefully pulling off the gear housing cover to get access to the over running clutch assembly. Thus, the assembly process has to be performed in the reversed order to the disassembly one, and to lubricate the corresponding mating surfaces with the grease.
